Snoop Dogg’s murder case sealed

A 31-year-old murder charge against Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., better known as rapper Snoop Dogg, has finally been sealed. Snoop reportedly filed to have his record sealed in January, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ. A month later, the deal was complete.

In 1993, Snoop Dogg and his bodyguard were accused of killing a 20-year-old alleged gang member who’d earlier been involved in a confrontation with one of the rapper’s friends in Los Angeles. Following a dramatic trial, the then-rising music star was acquitted on his voluntary manslaughter charge in February 1996.

He went on to become a top-selling recording artist and TV personality.
